Swap the Lug nuts

[Jeeperjamie]

Went from the chrome colored ones to black. Was thinking about new wheels but I think I'm back to loving the stock ones again. Best thing is I removed the wheel spacers last week and the JT is staying a lot cleaner.

Definitely love the stance of wheels wider on the JT but absolutely don’t like the extra dirt you get… still looking good!

I think, personally, in his case, the tires (appearance, design) make up for any lack of "width" in the looks of it.

Which lug nuts did you go with?

Gorilla brand lugs are hard to beat. Best lugs out there

Got these on Amazon. Seemed like a steal and so far so good. Not knocking any other brand I've heard good things about the Gorilla brand, but these were $28 shipped from Amazon. I didn't look for brand specific I just did a search for the size that the stock ones were. I'm happy so far.

I love the look of a wider stance as well and I actually didn't think I would like the spacers off but after seeing it for about a week it's actually growing on me. The wife's pushing for me to get new wheels now, she don't like it much, she preferred the wheels sticking out. I was actually about to pull the trigger on a set of these before swapping the lug nuts but I'm on the fence now. Was going to get black lug nuts either way but I don't know, I got a soft spot for these stock steelies.

It was between these 2

Those lug nuts on Amazon claim to be aluminum. I chose grade 10.9 steel (like grade 8) on Amazon.

I didn't even look at that. They seemed fine and not much different than the stock ones when I got them. If they suck I'll let you know. I got no vibrations or anything while driving. I figured I'd try them out on the cheap and if nothing else if they aren't good I'm only out $28.
